I do think it’s important to understand that even though, yes, he’s old and ignorant, and maybe he just doesn’t know any better, OSC is an active crusader against equal rights. He’s not just a quiet bystander who has terrible opinions, he’s acting on those terrible opinions.

That being said, Ender’s Game is an important book in my history as a reader, and I’m sure many of you feel the same way.

We’ve still got a lot of time before the movie comes out, so suffice to say that this isn’t over yet.

Book Riot Live is coming! Join us for a two-day event full of books, authors, and an all around good time. It’s the convention for book lovers that we’ve always wanted to attend. So we are doing it ourselves.
